What is Wiggedout Music?

 Wiggedout Music operates at the intersection of show promotion, artist support, and community building.

Practically, that means:

• Promoting and producing live shows in Vancouver
• Supporting indie and emerging artists with visibility and practical guidance 
• Helping bands connect with local audiences, venues, and other artists
• Experimenting with better ways for artists to communicate directly with fans
   

We focus on artists who are actively playing shows and trying to grow, not on vanity metrics or passive streaming numbers.

Most local scenes struggle for the same reasons: fragmented audiences, inconsistent promotion, and too much reliance on platforms that don’t reward early-stage artists.  Wiggedout Music takes a more grounded approach:

• Focus on  live shows and playing and not just social media
• Build repeat audiences, not one-off attendance
• Encourage collaboration between bands instead of competition
• Treat fans as participants in the scene, not just followers
   

The goal is simple: stronger shows, better turnouts, and more sustainable momentum for artists.

 Wiggedout Music is run by John Wigboldus, a Vancouver music fan and show promoter.  John has spent decades working in technology, sales, and consulting, and applies the same systems thinking to music that successful businesses use to grow. The focus is on execution, consistency, and community, not chasing trends.

Wiggedout Music is intentionally small, hands-on, and rooted in the local scene.

Over time, Wiggedout Music is evolving into a broader platform for local music discovery, artist-to-fan communication, and scene-building initiatives.  The emphasis will remain the same: helping artists grow locally first, build real connections with fans, and create something sustainable over the long term.
